The one nice day in March, and the Chi Omegas spent it house cleaning. This snap was taken typical day in March. on a more Invitations were received by thirty-five outstanding campus personalities to at- tend the 8th annual Gridiron Banquet, sponsored by Blue Pencil, held Thursday, March 8th. This affair is in the nature of a gripe session, and as in years before, the Gridironsters were deeply concerned with better promotion and boosting of the university. Each year the character- istic red derby hats are presented to the boy and girl chosen by the group as having griped the most, and this year Lyell Knight and John Lynn were the lucky winners. One of the highlights of the quarter on the social calendar was the winter quarter Inter-Fraternity Ball held March 2nd and put on by the Inter-Fraternity Council which represents all the fraterni- ties on the campus. The affair, usually one of the swish events of the year, was curtailed somewhat this year due to war- time conditions, but was nevertheless well-attended and comes under the heading of big dances of the year. Now let me see which is Beth and which is Bette. Russe knows!

The L. A. Building after a heavy snow fall. March 13th saw the curtain rise for the first time in several years on the Varsity Show — One, Two, Three Too Many, a tale of the hectic woes of a pretty co-ed on a wartime campus. This is the one production of the year which is written, directed and enacted entirely by student talent. This laugh-packed production upheld the tradition of a really fine Varsity Show, many hit tunes Mike Sedar showing perfect form, let ' s hope the form doesn ' t land in the snow . . with promise of nation-wide popularity being introduced, and drew one of the largest audiences of the season. The campus was buzzing with an ac- tivity not in evidence for several years when Wyoming University was host to the various schools throughout the state at the annual State High School Basket- ball Tournament held in Laramie March 1 4th- 1 7th. Everyone became reasonably acquainted with the campus by attend- ing mixers sponsored by various groups on the campus. Climaxing the four-day tourney, a big dance was held in the Unipn following the games Saturday night, which dance was also the final event of the university students before Dead Week.
